Evaluation Methodology
Acts of Integrated Evaluation and Their Weighting in the Continuous and Final Evaluation:
THEORETICAL COMPONENT:
-Portfolio Descriptive Memory (40%);
LABORATORY PRACTICE COMPONENT:
-Portfolio Exercises developed (50%);
-Attendance, participation and organization in classes (10%).
Additional information:
-The assessment results from the weighting of the assessment items of the theoretical component (Portfolio Descriptive Memory 40%) and the practical laboratory component (Portfolio Exercises developed; Attendance, participation and organization in classes 60%) with the student having to obtain, at least 10 values for each component to get approval;
-The students who have an average equal to or greater than 10 do not need to take the exam;
-Students who obtain at least 10 marks in the laboratory practical component will be admitted to the exam;
-Students who do not obtain at least 10 marks in the laboratory practical component will be excluded from the exam;
-Possible improvements will only be made to the theoretical component Descriptive memory the assessment obtained in the laboratory practical component being considered in the final global weighting.
